OFFICE 365

The University of Denver has selected Microsoft Office 365 to
provide cloud-based storage and collaboration tools to
students, staff, and faculty members. Office 365 is provided
by Microsoft and offers several features to help students
create and edit documents, store files, and work with other
DU students on group projects. More information is available
on the IT website. Office 365 features offered at the
University of Denver include:
OneDrive for Business - With Office 365 students have One
TeraByte (1,000 GigaBytes – that’s a lot!) of storage in the
cloud for files. When a PC, Mac, or phone are connected to
the internet, students can open and edit files stored on
OneDrive for Business.
Office 365 Pro Plus - When students log into Office 365, they
can download up to five copies of the most recent version of
Microsoft Office for their PC or Mac at no additional cost!
Students can also get Microsoft Office for their iPhone, iPad,
and Android devices from the Apple and Google app stores.
Office for your phone or tablet does not count against the
five free copies for Mac and PC.
Office Online – When students log into Office 365, they can
create and edit documents using online versions of Word,
Excel, or PowerPoint in a web browser. This works even if
students don’t have Microsoft Office installed on their
computer!
Skype for Business - Available to all DU students, Skype for
Business is a collaboration tool that combines Instant
Messaging, audio chat, video conferencing, document and
screen-sharing and other features into one package. More
information is available online.
Zoom – Zoom is a cloud based video communications service.
Students can create high-quality online meetings, classes, and
events that leverage Instant Messaging, video conferencing,
breakout rooms, screen-sharing and whiteboards on a unified
platform. More information is available online.
Outlook for Email - The University of Denver provides all
students with a DU email address:
firstname.lastname@du.edu (typically) and an Office 365
email mailbox. Your DU email may be forwarded to a
personal account if you prefer.
Students must activate their account and change their
password before logging into Office 365 for the first time.
Students can log into Office 365 with their DU email address
